I'm in the USA, what i like about your channel is that you show us how to do repairs in our driveway using common tools. You also convinced me to buy a reel mower. I found one at a flea market for $100. It is a McClain type. I knew instantly what it was and how good a bargain it was from watching you repair those types.
@@user-sf7kl9uh7koh yeah. We are all the same no matter where we live. It’s hard to pass up a broken mower or any machine without me picking it up and bringing it home and repairing it. You can’t get ahead in life always buying brand new….
Grand job Martin. But for now I'm waiting for the warmer weather before I venture out to sort out the things I know need doing on my own car. Keep yourselfs safe Rob
I commented when you did the drive shaft and brakes that you had a whirring noise on the test drive! I knew something was amiss. Glad you got it sorted. I’ve never done a wheel bearing with the ABS built in before so it was good seeing how simple those are. I expected it to be a right nightmare!
It was worth the wait Martin, a few years back I had a rumble i changed the long drive shaft, turned out the left front wheel was loose (what a wally) never did tell the wife 🙄
Shhh your secret is safe with us... I've bought bits, then fixed the old ones and she's none the wiser. She's no idea of what's in the shed as she's no key for it 😉
@@retrorestore Nice to see he's enjoying it, that's a nice rebuild. I miss that sound, it's -20°C here in Quebec right now, My Fazer 1000 is frozen solid in my shed
Isnt a way of checking the wheel bearing rotating the wheel with one hand on the spring... if the wheel bearing is bad it will transmit the shock to the spring allowing you to feel it
Great video Martin. Wow you was lucky getting the old wheel bearing out, they are usually a pig to drive out with the corrosion. Nice new bearing kit with everything included. Did you have to stake the new centre nut or just torque it to spec ? Cheers, Jeff.
Great video. I have a similar sound and wonder if it could be the driveshaft bearing. In your case, did your sound change when driving and turning in different directions?
I been told jack the tyre up grab it from 9 to 3 o'clock push it in and out then From 12 to 6 give it wobble that's best way to check faulty wheel baring what you think ur a pro 😁
I wouldn't want to buy a car off you if you do things up FT (Finger Tight). I think one of my my wheel bearings is on it's way out because when I go around a roundabout and pressure is on the passenger side you can hear a noise.
Hi Martin, you did not understand. The sound was to hear if the wheel was turning. Sorry that I had to tell you this unpleasant news. Now you have to take everything back down again.🤷♀️

Thanks Mike, glad you enjoy my videos.👍
He's a good lad, nice you guys across the pond also enjoy his videos.

@@mikenonameneeded3485 My parents are terrible, they'll throw anything away, it's disgusting.
@@user-sf7kl9uh7kyep, same with mine.
The dashboard is lit up like a Christmas tree. You could make a video out of sorting that 😂

yeah , premieres on the day please ( otherwise i forget )
Hub bearing to swivel hub bolts are 90nm + 30° + 15°. The trolls will be on fire over using copper slip on a bearing with abs sensor built in 🤣
The trolls know everything... as long as it works, it's fine by me.
Great job Martin it's surprising how sound travels on a car👍👍👍👍

The tyre was 15psi in that video as the car was standing for a while The noise went when we pumped the tyre up Adam.
An absolute pleasure to watch Martin

Great detailed content Martin ( it’s what we love & you skip the boring bits )
Bulb Warning light, ABS light, spanner light and the good old Fuel Light, did you tell Jimmy Christmas is over 😂
Another lovely job finished in the same video keep up the good work mate sod the haters 👌
Great how to video,I always copper grease the shaft splines , looking forward to more videos.
Haha was waiting for it to start, noticed it was it three days.🙄🙄
I was the same. I looked at the date three times
You two weren’t the only ones who thought that😂
to save some folks time, to tighten a bolt FT means to tighten it 'Fully Tight' or as tight as you can make it..
Proper hands on real life stuff. Love the content.
I wish my dealer's mechanics worked as good as you mate.
@ 15min50 seconds that's a Yamaha engine if I ever heard one :)
Yes it was, a thundercat 600.

Removing a wheel bearing with a copper hammer, wow! Buy some lottery tickets mate, you were incredibly lucky.
When i did my 04 zafira omg beat it silly to get it out both sides 🤪 🤣 nice to hear u use the old F T too same as me 💪👍 nice job .
Nice fix Martin need to check his lights now look like bulb warning light was on
Yeah, I know gary.
Job well done.
Good thing they not pressed in as they are a nightmare. Bolts are great
Fantastic video I really enjoyed it 😀
Thank you!
Brilliant Martin! We need more Lee!!

Another good video Martin keep them coming pal
Thanks 👍
Jeez is this a blockbuster movie premier we are waiting for boys?
Top job Martin 👌
Spot on Martin nice job done ✔
Thanks 👍
@10:15 - instead of hitting on the bearing, put all 3 bolts back in loosely and hit the bolts with a hammer to push the bearing out.
Great instructional video....🤔👍
Thanks 👍
Another great job Martin 👍
Thanks 👍
Isnt a way of checking the wheel bearing rotating the wheel with one hand on the spring... if the wheel bearing is bad it will transmit the shock to the spring allowing you to feel it
Great job Mart, looks like it all went pretty smooth 👍 The wife wants to know if Gary is doing Project Man underpants. 👍👍
🤭 There's an idea lol
A job well done mate .
When I saw you about to hammer off the bearing, I thought, that's not coming off 🤐 I'm wrong again!
Great video Martin also like the new logo!!
Thanks Harry
Great video Martin. Wow you was lucky getting the old wheel bearing out, they are usually a pig to drive out with the corrosion. Nice new bearing kit with everything included. Did you have to stake the new centre nut or just torque it to spec ?
Cheers, Jeff.
Just torque it Jeff. It was a pinch nut
another fab vid love it
👍👍 easy fix 👍👍
Great stuff 👍👍
Top video as always
Thanks again!
Great Vid Martin 👍
Thanks 👍
FT. Just look it up . Belter !😂
Great videos 👍 have you ever bought parts from car parts 4 less ?
I'm not sure Rob, I can't remember lol
Gary is pullin faces
it s a wheel Bering martin Gary from Crewe
Cant believe you didnt powder coat something in this video 🙂
Unbelievable! :)
nicely done .. but christmas is over , time to put away the christmas lights .. oh sorry thats the dash , lol
Great video. I have a similar sound and wonder if it could be the driveshaft bearing. In your case, did your sound change when driving and turning in different directions?
Difficult to say, when the driveshaft went a couple of months back, it clonked when turning the wheel.
Dinotrol's good for protecting brake pipes.
Nice! How much r yall payin for diesel over there?
I been told jack the tyre up grab it from 9 to 3 o'clock push it in and out then From 12 to 6 give it wobble that's best way to check faulty wheel baring what you think ur a pro 😁
As I said in the video, There was no play in this bearing bud.
Great job, Martin,did you learn from someone how to do all this work or are you self taught?
Self Taught Stuart since the age of 14.
Another job you made look easy again. Bit disappointing no swearing 🤬🤬😂😂😂😂
👍👍👍
Martin what happened to the Siggy?
Is Drivetech ok, I fitted a pair of their top mounts a few months ago! 😬
that got scrapped finally.
@@retrorestore Sounds like you didn't like it! Cheers
@@user-sf7kl9uh7k no, not me, my son scrapped it
What size if your copper hammer please fella, I want to buy one but there’s a few sizes
I have a couple, I can't remember the sizes.
I have 2litre turbo 56 plate signum.....had front springs replaced but it makes a banging noise going over bumps........any ideas ?
Make sure the top nut is secured.
@@retrorestore bro it's just passed an mot......surely it wouldnt something so simple as that would it............?
If its just passed am MOT they should have picked up on it but the nut may have come loose after.
When you tried it with the old bearing the Speedo went up,with the new bearing it didn't, did the wheel go round when you asked your son to look ??
Yes but the passenger side didn't, that's why
This premiere does my heed in you click on it to watch and its not on for two days come on🙄
I wouldn't want to buy a car off you if you do things up FT (Finger Tight). I think one of my my wheel bearings is on it's way out because when I go around a roundabout and pressure is on the passenger side you can hear a noise.
Those bolts are not FT torque, you should use the German torque ;)
The bearings are half price on eBay ?
The copper slip has lasted a fair few years.
Yes pete, I'm half way through it now
I said it was a wheel bearing on the driveshaft video. It was obviously a bearing and not tyre noise. But hey 🤣
The tyre was down to 15psi in that video as the car was standing for weeks. The driveshaft was gone as the clonking stopped.
Hi Martin, you did not understand. The sound was to hear if the wheel was turning. Sorry that I had to tell you this unpleasant news. Now you have to take everything back down again.🤷♀️
Was the scratch card a winner? 😎
